Enemies can be quite tough, but luckily you can block most of their attacks, provided you have the right gear to handle them.

Aside from blocking enemy attacks, you can also parry them, which will set them off balance and create an opening for you to take advantage of their temporary immobility.

Timing is important when it comes to the parry system and once you get the hang of it, your chances of surviving are greatly increased.

What is Parrying?

Parrying is quite similar to blocking, except you need to block at a specific time which is mainly when the enemy attacks and is about to land some damage on you.

By blocking at the exact moment, you were about to be damaged, you cause the enemy to be stunned and they become vulnerable for a short period of time.

Enemies that are disabled by the parry will take 2x more damage and will be easier to kill or to escape from.

Parry Timing

In order to time your parrying correctly, watch the enemy’s movements and predict when they land their hits on you.

You can try blocking normally a few times before figuring out when is the proper time to parry, so your timing will be perfect.

It may take some practice but once you start blocking the attacks of different enemies, you get the hang of it faster.
